Re-using Christmas cards...

...I do love to re-use my favourite Christmas cards, and this year I have the Big-Shot at my disposal. I have the perfect die for making gift tags (the top note die from su) but I was having trouble getting the picture in exactly the right place and ended up cutting off part of the message, or santa's boots etc. I thought you might like to see my simple solution to this prob!

Just wrap your die in a piece of cardstock, taping the card onto the back of the die on both sides. Run it through the bigshot and remove the cut out piece. Now you have a frame for your images! Slide the card in, position carefully within your "frame", run through your machine. Voila! Why didn't I think of that before? The pic quality is terrible (that's my work desk underneath btw), but I hope it gives you the general idea.
